Consumable art supplies are always a good idea, too. Colored washable pencils and small drawing pads for the older two kids, maybe?

Nothing. You are going for an interview. If you accept job then you can give each a small, inexpensive gift.

OP, I think people ARE giving you advice on here.
While gift wise books are the best choice - I do not think it is necessary or even expected that you purchase a gift for each child.
However if you do > it is best to go w/an age-appropriate book.

Oops, scratch that last Amazon link!! Sorry. Wrong book and I can't find the one I have in mind. But music is always a good topic.

I agree, age appropriate books are best. One each. Ditty bird is great for the babies. This one would be good for the 7 year old:

Don't have a rec for the 5 year old.

Don't spend too much money.
If you do decide on "books" ask the parents what reading level the children are at and what the children are interesting in reading and what they are allowed to read.
Don't do stickers. They get everywhere and not everyone appreciates them. A few of your favorite books. You don't need a gift. This is a job interview.

For an interview? Nothing, you don’t know them. Instead, spend the time to think of questions that show you are interested in the parents and children.

Get one of those books called "Five Minute Stories." Those books are great for the two oldest kids, and then get the baby a board book with baby faces.
